Circa 1929, this recording is much more fun than the Elizalde/Al Bowlly version.

  • Superb - my favourite version, lost to me since my younger brother sat on it in the 1960's - he was only two at the time! But what happened to the last few notes of 'to be a farmer's boy' at the end?

    What are they doing with their feet? Gently firming up the ground after raking in new seed. You can see the rake marks if you look carefully.

  • thanks for posting =) I prefer the Al Bowlly version, though.

  • The government converted the plant nursery where my grandfather was manager into a victory garden. The German and Italian prisoners of war had to work it. Gave the rotten buggers something useful to do!

  • The better version is harry hudson sung by vocal tro.

  • What is this?!

  • I guessed Current 93's version was a cover.. glad I found the original but I prefer their manic version.

    This is good too though! Wow.

  • Nicely done. This explains "Jollity Farm", I think...the two songs both came out in 1929.

    By the way, what ARE they doing tamping the rows with their boots only to rake them up again??

  • Excellent!

  • I think this is about what we call "Victory Gardens" during WW11 in America......Ours wasn't that big or hard to keep up.......

  • Like It!!
